Love every word of this post. Thank you for elevating a work of art that often gets overlooked.
There is another seed of cautious optimism and a new hope and it might be my favorite scene in the whole movie.
As Luke just leaves Dagobah prematurely, Obi-Wan says, “That boy is our last hope.” Yoda replies, “No… there is another.” That single line, paired with the shifting light on Yoda’s face, plants the perfect seed of cautious optimism. Like you said, even in apparent defeat, the fairytale renews. Gives me goosebumps every time.
"... and the biggest exolosions are emotional." Which underscores the importance of John Williams' music. Without the music the film would have no more emotional power than reading a comic book version.
Great analysis of a great movie, by far the best of the Star Wars.
(I stopped watching them when the Ewoks appeared...I'm a grown-ass man! ;;))

Interesting view of Empire. I'm not a huge fan of it personally, always been a bigger Star Trek fan, but I can see where you're coming from with this.
only the hottest fire can purify gold, harden steel until it won't break, yes?
